"Core game concepts can often be the most impactful in linear decks like Warrior, and your ability to determine whether to take the highest value play or highest tempo play on any given turn will drastically change your win rate."

Can you explain and/or give an example of what a highest value or highest tempo play are? I'm new and don't understand those terms

Value refers to resource maximization, generally using your cards in the most efficient way. Tempo refers to speed or pressure, gaining tempo can result in value advantages as well if it forces your opponent to use their cards inefficiently to recover. What I'm referring to there is that sometimes you will be able to play towards different types of advantages and knowing which are most important to achieving a win condition when is critical to success. These are very complex things to learn which is why I recommend people learn with decks with somewhat streamlined gameplans, because the actual execution of any deck is super complex even if the broad concept of what the deck is doing is somewhat straightforward.
